UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

WILLIAM E. BISHOP, OF AYLESFORD, CANADA.

CUFF-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 437,326, dated September 30, 1890.

Application filed July 18, 1890.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. BISHOP, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Aylesford, in the county of Kings and Province of Nova Scotia, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gulf-Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The special object of the invention is to combine a culf-holder and studs, so that the cuff may be attached to the coat-sleeve and not to the shirt.

The invention will first be described in connection with the drawings, and then pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a perspective view, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section.

In the drawings, A represents the front stud; B, the rear stud; O, the pin; D, the spring; E, a thumb-screw, and F the studconnection. The rear stud B is arranged so as to slide between the pin C and the connection F in the slotfto fita cuff of any desired length and is held in position at the point of adjustment by the thumb-screw E.

In order to apply my invention, the studs are first inserted in the holes of the cuff and the latter then slipped on over the hand.

Serial No. 359,117. (No model.)

The spring D is then pressed down, but not necessarily, and the device pulled toward the fingers. This pulling action causes the pin to stick in the lining of the coat-sleeve. Then the spring is liberated, presses up against the pin, and securely fastens the device in the desired place. I

It will be observed that the lower part of the shank of each stud turns on a pivot in a well-known way in order to facilitate the insertion thereof in the holes of the cufi, and, when turned back, to prevent the stud from pulling out.

By my invention the cuff is held always in one position with respect to the coat-sleeve and cannot get down over the fingers or be drawn up out of sight. The stud B clasps the connection F, and through the clasp passes the screw which fastens the stud to the connection.

What I claim as new is- A cuff-holder consisting of the, studs A B, the pin 0, the spring D, the thumb-screw E, and the connection F, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WVILLIAM E. BISHOP.
